  1. A CGI was defined as being misclassified if it lacked an experimental methylation value in sperm but was classified nonetheless as constitutively methylated or unmethylated solely in sperm. CGIs that were missing methylation data in more than half of tissues and cell types under analysis were also defined as misclassified and removed.
